The relationship between liver dysfunction and coeliac disease is well established, ranging from transaminitis to chronic liver disease. In this report, we describe for the first time the development of a 'seronegative' autoimmune hepatitis in a teenager previously diagnosed with coeliac disease. He had normal liver function tests (LFTs) at diagnosis and was strictly compliant with a gluten-free diet. On screening blood tests at 1 year post diagnosis, he presented with raised LFTs leading to a diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis on liver biopsy, successfully treated with mycophenolate mofetil. By using screening LFTs, we may well have prevented this patient from developing disease complications.
